A New Era in Football Gaming
The rebranded game, previously known as FIFA, is about to bring a fresh wave of excitement to living rooms and gaming dens around the world. But what everyone wants to know is: Who are the must-have players to look out for?
Haaland: The Crown Jewel
At the heart of the hype is the Norwegian wonder-boy, Erling Haaland. With a stellar rating of 91, he’s set to be a dominant force in the game. Given his debut performance with Manchester City, this hardly comes as a surprise. Scoring a jaw-dropping 52 goals and setting up nine more, Haaland has proven that he’s not just a rising star; he’s a supernova in the football universe. His record, unmatched by many, not only solidifies his position in Manchester City’s history but also makes him an invaluable asset for virtual team managers in EA Sports FC 24.
Sharing the Limelight
But Haaland isn’t alone at the top. The Parisian speedster, Kylian Mbappe, and Manchester City’s midfield maestro, Kevin De Bruyne, also boast a rating of 91. Both have had exceptional seasons and have been pivotal for their respective clubs, so their high rankings are well-deserved.
Kane and Messi: A Legacy of Excellence
Further down, but by no means lesser, is Harry Kane. Now dazzling fans at Bayern Munich, the English striker has been given a rating of 90, a testament to his consistent brilliance on the field. His rating ties with none other than the footballing legend, Lionel Messi. Messi, alongside football stalwarts like Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski, and Thibaut Courtois, sits comfortably with a 90 rating, making them indispensable choices for gamers.
The Best of the Rest
It’s not just about the top echelons, though. A variety of world-class players are waiting to be explored in the game. Mohamed Salah, with his impeccable skill and pace; Vini Jr, a rising star with flair; Neymar Jr, known for his samba magic; and goalkeepers like Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who have all been honored with an 89 rating. These players offer depth and variety, ensuring every match in the game will be as thrilling as the last.
Breaking Barriers: Women in Ultimate Team
This year’s EA Sports FC 24 brings a groundbreaking feature: the integration of female players in the Ultimate Team mode. Leading the list of female football icons are Barcelona’s duo, Caroline Graham Hansen and Aitana Bonmati, both with a solid 90 rating. They are a testament to the growing influence and recognition of women’s football on the global stage.
Following them from the Women’s Super League are Sam Kerr and Guro Reiten. Kerr, known for her striking prowess, and Reiten, a midfield genius, have been awarded ratings of 90 and 88, respectively. Their inclusion highlights the game’s commitment to a more inclusive representation of the sport.
